36 CASE STUDY 1 :
Our excessive dependence on motorised road transport imposes significant economic costs
on society. These include congestion, road causalities, physical inactivity and ill health
caused by it. Cycling could substantially reduce these risks, while strengthening local
economies in both urban and rural areas supporting local businesses and property values.
